Yesterday, actress Shilpa Shetty, welcomed, Ganpati bappa at her residence in Mumbai. Few photos and videos featuring Shilpa have gone viral on social media. She was seen at Mumbai's Lalbaug Ganpati workshop to take the idol. Dressed in a vibrant kurta pant attire, she look every bit elated during the procession. She was surrounded by paps and she urged them all to chant the greeting on the occasion, 'Ganpati bappa morya' and 'mangal murti morya'. Last year, Shilpa Shetty celebrated the occasion with her hubby Raj Kundra and her kids. This year Raj is not present at home. He was arrested by the Mumbai Police for being the alleged “key conspirator” in a case of making pornographic films and publishing them through mobile applications.
